learn about cbd

By now, CBD is something you've probably heard of. What CBD is however and the scope of what is available in terms of products made from CBD is a bit more complex. CBD or "Cannabidiol" is one of the many "Cannabinoids" (scientific research have identified more than 140 at the time of this writing) found in the cannabis plant. Cannabis? Hmmm, is that legal? Isn't that Marijuana? Well, in order to break it down properly, we'll start by talking a bit about cannabis itself and the difference between Marijuana and Hemp. 

Without boring you to tears about how plants are classified and how to interpret those long scientific names you see in books and journals, we can for the purposes of this explanation say that all Hemp is cannabis. All cannabis however is not Hemp. Thus, both Hemp and Marijuana are cannabis albeit different types. Having said that, the main difference between the two and the ones that we are primarily concerned about is that first, Marijuana is regulated (it's still considered to be a schedule one substance) and Hemp currently, is not. Additionally, they both contain THC, Tetrahydrocannabinol (the stuff that gets you high) and CBD, Cannabidiol (the stuff that does not get you high). Second is that Marijuana is high in THC and low in CBD where Hemp is low in THC and High in CBD. The CBD products sold on this site are Hemp derived and as such they are legal as per the Farm Bill signed in 2018. 

CBD is one of the major cannabinoids in the cannabis plant and has many positive potential therapeutic properties. Anxiety, stress, inflammation, Arthritis and more. There is much research as yet to be done and CBD is considered a supplement as it is as yet to be FDA approved.
